Alberto Salvi From www.harp.com/history-of-the-harp/ "Alberto Salvi (Italy, 1893-1983), renowned harpist, performed many solo concerts in a time when more harpists were accompanists; performed in many operas; recorded with RCA Victor and was popular on radio." See adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/talent/detail/28394/Salvi_... and www.loc.gov/jukebox/artists/detail/id/1140/

This photo was printed in Good Housekeeping, Volume 76, May 1923. books.google.com/books?id=eFcjAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA5-PA103&a... In his brother's 2015 obituary chicago.suntimes.com/news/victor-salvi-lyon-healy-owner-k..., Alberto was mentioned as having been dubbed "Wizard of the Harp." That phrase certainly finds lots of hits in newspapers. The Madison daily leader., October 25, 1919, page 3 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99062034/1919-10-25/ed-... has an article on Salvi as a child prodigy and as a current star.
